Police: Customer stabbed by Pa. phone store worker

Police say a 59-year-old man needed surgery after being stabbed in the stomach during a scuffle with an employee of a T-Mobile store outside Philadelphia.

UPPER DARBY (AP) — Police say a 59-year-old man needed surgery after being stabbed in the stomach during a scuffle with an employee of a T-Mobile store outside Philadelphia.

The Philadelphia Daily News reported Thursday that the victim went to the store in Upper Darby on Tuesday afternoon to complain about his bill when a physical confrontation began with store worker Darnell Schoolfield.

Upper Darby Police say the customer ripped Schoolfield's name tag off and went to file a police complaint when he realized he was bleeding badly from the left side of his stomach. The customer apparently thought he had only been punched.

Police say they have an attempted murder warrant and are looking for Schoolfield, a 21-year-old resident of Philadelphia.

T-Mobile tells the paper it is "shocked and saddened" by the incident.
